Metrics and monitoring are important for any service. They provide critical information needed to detect and respond to incidents and issues. Kloudless deals with millions of requests, and keeping track of everything can be difficult. Kloudless has recently integrated a new metrics system to tackle this challenge.
Metrics from Kloudless can be sent to the new analytics platform for collection, analysis, and alerting. The analytics integration is available to all operators of Kloudless systems: both our own DevOps team administering our cloud version as well as operators of self-hosted Kloudless Enterprise appliances.
Let’s walk through a simple use case. Let’s say that your application uses the Kloudless Storage API and is failing to store files uploaded to your service. The potential issue could be anywhere in the stack. With the new metrics system, dashboards that display request metrics are easily accessible. Now you can quickly isolate the issue based on these metrics.
Here we have a simple dashboard. Core health checks to the Kloudless appliance appear to be fine. However, there is a sharp spike in the graph of Request Failures! This graph shows failures for outbound requests to upstream services. Hovering over the graph, we can look at the tags on each data series and see that there’s been a large increase in 500 errors to Box. This suggests that the issue is likely with the upstream service rather than the Kloudless API or the appliance itself. Knowing this allows us to narrow down which logs we need to look at to learn more about the error and take further steps to assess the root cause.
Request status is the mere tip of the iceberg when it comes to metrics provided by the Kloudless appliance. For a more detailed reference of available metrics, please refer to the Kloudless Enterprise Configuration guide.
